7 September 2003 - The Elected

作词：Blake Sennett

作曲：Blake Sennett

I was riding around with my worst friend

It was the seventh of September

The day that I surrendered

Now fifteen more 'til my birthday

And he was talking about a girl that he'd just met

What was her name I can't remember

Oh but man she was a mover

You should have seen the way she danced

Oh baby please don't leave me here

With these awful people that

I fear may help me

Become a man that I will regret

And they say when you finally lose your love

It's gone but you never forget

Well my cup runneth over

With dyin' dreams and losing bets

And if every man's an island and you just don't look back

Oh the stories they say we'll tell

Well I tell too many stories

So I guess it's just as well

Oh keep that bad news to yourself

Yeah save it for somebody else

Yeah baby

I do believe I'll never see your face again

Oh baby I got somethin' to tell you

These awful people don't know me as well as you do

I'll save my good side for you

And on the last night of summer and

I got you alone we talked until dawn then

I walked you home

And I said baby

There's someone out there for you

And maybe he's saved his best side for you
